What
Circle Select allows you to quickly and efficiently select multiple turrets with a simple click-and-drag motion. This makes moving a lot of stuff way easier.
How
- Activate: Click and hold the on a draggable,
- Wait: Keep still until the circle select becomes active
- Resize: Move away to create a circular selection area.
- Release: Finalize your selection by releasing.
- Drag: Click and drag one of the selected and watch the magic happen!
Why
Its been requested more than once, to be able to move many things at the same time. Imagine you want to fall back to defend the Deep Drill or cover another flank,
But, it is not as easy as it sounds to implement a system to move several buildings at the same time. What happens if there is no valid position, or when finding a new valid position another building also wants to move there? I also have the design goal for the game to be playable with just one mouse button, to maintain accessibility. The solution was easy for me, I just made John do it! It was not easy for John though. : )
Big shout out to John who did the majority of the work!
Nordic Game
As a side note, I showed IDUN at Nordic Game here in Sweden. It was great fun as always to lure people in that normally don't play RTS games, and see them killing their way to a close success in the end. Lots of high fives. : )
We’re looking forward to your feedback as always and thank you for your support!
